Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge may need more than just Andy Cohen between them at the Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 reunion. As stalwart RHOC fans know, Shannon and Tamra have been feuding for ages now.
Their feud is multi-faceted. Of course, one of its strongest sources is Alexis Bellino. Once former Housewife Alexis started dating Shannon’s ex John Janssen, all bets were off. But strangely, Tamra seemed to take Alexis’ side over her longtime friend’s.
Many fans already had their fill of Tamra after Season 17. Her behavior caused many viewers to ramp up the criticism. Perhaps the reunion will be the perfect place to finally level with her and hear what she has to say.
RHOC fans mad about Alexis Bellino’s reunion seat
On October 6, Bravo released the upcoming RHOC Reunion seating chart. The announcement saw Shannon on Andy’s immediate right, and Tamra on his left. Included on Shannon’s side is Gina Kirschenheiter, Jennifer Pedranti, and Katie Ginella, respectively. On Tamra’s side sat Emily Simpson, Heather Dubrow, and Alexis Bellino.
The feuding Tamra and Shannon make sense as the hot-seat recipients this season, even if viewers are rather tired of Tamra. Hopefully, both parties can take some accountability given their places on the couches (perhaps one more than the other). Another sticking point for RHOC fans was Alexis’ inclusion in the seating chart at all.
As one Instagram commenter wrote, “Why is Alexis even sitting there considering she is a friend!” However, such circumstances are not unprecedented. The Real Housewives of Miami cast almost always includes the friends as full reunion participants. Granted, the friends on RHOM are perhaps the most involved friends in any Housewives franchise.
Real Housewives of Orange County continues Thursdays at 9/8c on Bravo.
